Approaching Storm
Nov 11, 2015 00:24:52 #
Yesterday we had an approaching storm that was to bring us our first snow. With the storm clouds gathering I went to our local creek to see what I could create.
As a rule I have generally only used a three image set for my HDR's. Recently I've been reading a book by one of the HDR masters who suggested using more than three. He said to "shoot for the bottom", meaning, the darkest image should be fairly dark. Which meant I'd need to use 5-7 images. On this day I used 7 images. I was amazed at how much more useful 7 images could be. A much wider tonal range.
In this image I have tried to make it look like an oil painting with a canvas texture. I've kept it a tad dark to look more like the approaching storm that was coming.

Very good composition. One can imagine being a weary hiker , knowing that night is coming and bedding accommodations must be secure in order not to be caught in the oncoming deluge ( which will happen anyways). Thanks for your HDR experience ; worth trying out.

Nicely done. I would have liked to see it without the canvas texture.
Here it is.

Thank you. I generally keep my hdr's more realistic. However, some times I just can't resist the temptation to get a little wild. . .as I did here.
